This group is for everyone living in the DC metro area who's interested in Drupal. You can post here about anything relating to DC and Drupal, whether that's local job postings, events, or just a call out to talk shop over beers.
You can also find us in a couple of other places:
- Group on Meetup.com for events (they handle events better, with reminder emails and whatnot)
- Group on groups.drupal.org for discussions and job posts (that's here)
- #drupal-dc on freenode
- @DrupalDC on Twitter
We have a great meetup every month where we get together to connect in person. The target audience is Drupal developers, users, and people who want to learn more about Drupal. We start the meetups with a round of very focused lightning talks that discuss real world solutions to existing problems, new work people have done, and Drupal news. Some of these talks are about code, and some are not. We do ask that all presenters talk on a level that everyone - including non-developers - can follow. After the talks, we chat over beer, and maybe play a few games of foosball.
We're open to ways to improve the meetups and this group, so speak up if you have ideas!

Any resident experts on using Mailhandler in D7?
I’m trying to set up a searchable forum populated by imports from a listserv run by a university client who uses their university’s Lsoft listserv system. It only needs to import the listserv; emails and comments won't be sent from the website.
I had done this years ago in Drupal 6 using a combination of Mailhandler and Listhandler, and it worked great until Listhandler was deprecated. I’m now trying to set up the same thing in Drupal 7 and running into problems -- so I'm looking for someone who's done this before and might be available for some consultation/trouble-shooting.

Hello,
One of DebugAcademy.com 's alumni let me know she has tickets to DrupalCon which she can't use and asked if I knew anyone to sell them to. I figured posting here makes sense, especially given how much time is left until DrupalCon Nashville.
Let me know if you'd like to purchase them. Looking for $350 or best offer.
Posting this to multiple groups because it's equally relevant to most people. Please reach out ASAP if you're interested.

Understanding Drupal
Drupal is an extremely flexible and powerful system. Unfortunately, it is not always intuitive.
